Hi All Now that I have a staking set, I want to purchase some smoothing broaches specifically for barrel arbour holes in plates and mainspring barrels. I mainly work on Seiko movement and the average measurements are around 1mm plate hole to 2mm barrel hole. I was thinking of this set from Cousins? https://www.cousinsuk.com/product/0070-to-300mm-german1?code=B36688 Appreciate your advice and comments Regards CJ

Thinking about zodiac you can go to cousins and download the PDF of the parts lists. As it seems to cross reference to so many zodiac watches I'm just going to give you a link and you can pick out all the ones you think are relevant. https://www.cousinsuk.com/document/search?SearchString=Zodiac

For once @oldhippy, I disagree with you. A light polish by hand will remove microns, the thickness of the case will be minimal, without trying to remove all the blemishes. I may be wrong and quite often am. -
I would have assumed that a longer spring (within reason) would have provided a longer run-time. It would be interesting if you (or someone else) could elaborate a bit about that. I'm intrigued. Or, perhaps a joke that I don't get 🤔

You might want to look for "thickness gauges". They are used for measuring things like paper or leather etc. They are spring loaded like the feintaster. If you file a small section out of one of the anvils, you can measure balance staffs the same way as you can with a feintaster. They are cheap as well (found these for €10..).
